    I usually make my bed every morning, but if my sweetheart is still in it when I leave in the morning, it gets made when I get home, or before I go to bed. I get cranky if my blankets are disheveled or not square on the bed.

    I agree...sort of BLAH to fall into a messy bed after a strenuous day. :s Nicer to feel "welcomed" into sleep!!!!
    P.S. Hope you find something in your day that inspires you, like all of the beautiful flowers and trees starting to blossom out, or....something!!! :)

    Hi all.. sorry been away working all week and although have been tracking my (over)eating, after 14 hour days have not had energy to enter into the thread.
    Been a tough week with some poor eating.
    And I'm back and went straight to bootcamp yesterday to get back into it.

    So... JFT
    - I will eat carefully during the day and make sensible choices tonight when at a friend's for dinner
    - I will make a veggie juice to last a few days
    - I will either garden or do the cleaning
    - I will allow myself downtime and to rest

    Happy weekend.
    :-)

    Hmmmm... was way over target on Saturday (great dinner and drinks at a friend's and was great to let my hair down for once) but much better today
    And have achieved the other goals over 2 days rather than one.
    Okay - ish. ..

    Monday's goals (Bank holiday here in UK)
    - do double bootcamp and push hard
    - stay under calorie goal for day
    - react by taking responsibility when I do my weigh in as I doubt I will have hit this week's target after some very poor choices over the week
    - plan meals till mid week

    Just back from a week-long vacation in the wild. Due to the different food (enjoyable as it was), I have developed blisters on my tongue - and the good news is I won't be able to each much today haha. I pledge, just for today:

    1. To stay within my MFP calorie limit
    2. To stay clear of spicy foods
    3. Walk for 30 min and stretch for 15 minutes
    4. Drink 3L of water
    5. Eat one banana and one different fruit

    Goal check
    1. 700 calories over MFP limit. EPIC FAIL. Must diet all week for this mishap :(
    2. I did this, to some extent.
    3. Walked 30 min but didn't stretch
    4. Managed only 2.5L
    5. Had a fresh, ripe mango but forgot the banana

    TODAY'S GOALS:
    1. To stay within my MFP calorie limit
    2. Get treated for the blisters on the tongue and stay clear of spicy foods
    3. Walk for 30 min and stretch for 15 minutes
    4. Drink 3L of water (people died y'day in my city because of the heat :( )
    5. Eat one banana and one bowl of chilled watermelon

    Between an injury and having to go out of town for a week, I won't be setting daily goals for a while. I will track as much as I can though!

    And again!!!!!
    Short version: Hit all goals except meal planning.
    Maintained weight at weigh in... could have been so much worse AND not good enough. Better choices next week.

    Try "tiny habits" by Prof BJ Fogg (google it). No motivation needed. Just make each step so tiny that you won't resist it and tie it to some anchor habit you already do - like waking up or brushing your teeth AND Cheer yourself on with a big "well done!" at the end. Just for today I will walk around my block, drink two glasses of water and choose vegetables whenever I have a choice.

    Feel like I've been away for weeks even though it's just a few days! Glad to get back!!
    Today I will:
    Track everything.
    Preplan suppers for the week.
    Walk everyday-last week, I walked very little & it showed up in stress level, feeling bloated, etc.
    Avoid processed foods.
    Drink 9 + cups of water.
    Add self care everyday.

    Have a great short week!

    My being sick sure doesn't help for keeping track here. And yes, Saragirl, I hear you--a couple days can feel like weeks! I've had laryngitis for 3 days and I'm sure my family is enjoying the whispering, Ha ha!

    Just for Today:
    1. Stay in cal limits
    2. Drink 3+ pints water/tea
    3. Exercise 15 min.

    Happy Tuesday, all! :)
